if (0.23 > 0) works just fine, so it parses floating point numbers, just not the negative ones.

No, not really. It parses the 0.23 as a string, and does a strcmp between "0.23" and "0" and it wins sorta by accident.

I've got a "real" fix in the works right now. Finalized it last night. will merge it today.

Someday soon, my license will be approved, and you'll be able to download
the attached patch file for trunk, and see how well it works for you.

Let me know ASAP, because I'll probably let it sit only a few days before I
commit it to trunk and close this bug.

Hmmm, looks like license will be pending to Thurs. or later. I'm going to just put this in 1.4 and trunk, and let people moan and complain. Hopefully, there won't be a large amount of that...!

Changes in 1.4 committed via 72933.
committed to trunk via 72940.

Please re-open this bug if any catastrophes occur!

Due to outcry, reverted this patch to 1.4, in r. 73143. It's a trunk-only show now.
